The Story of Mr & Mrs T

How It All Started

The story of Mr & Mrs T began in 1960. A couple named Herb and June Taylor created their first product: a Bloody Mary mix. They were already in the business of making sauces. Their goal was to make sure that every drink made with their mix tasted exactly the same. This helped bars and restaurants serve consistent drinks to their customers.

At first, their mixes were mostly used in places like bars and restaurants around Los Angeles.

Flying High and Growing

The Mr & Mrs T brand became much more popular after a big airline, American Airlines, started using their mix. An executive from the airline tasted it and loved it! Soon, other airlines also began to use Mr & Mrs T mixers for their flights.

In 1965, the Taylors sold their company, Taylor Food Products. Later, in 1987, the Mr & Mrs T brand was bought by Mott's, which was part of a larger company. By 1997, Mr & Mrs T was very successful, controlling 62 percent of the market for Bloody Mary mixes.
